"To appreciate the absurdity of the War on Terror in general, and such
tragicomic episodes as the bombing of 'Khorasan' in particular, one
needs an encyclopedic knowledge not only of Islamic history and
eschatology, but also a certain familiarity with the strategic thought
of such intellectual heavyweights as Sun Tzu, Machievelli, Père Ubu,
Henry Kissinger, and Bugs Bunny."
